GLOVE.

Application filed August 17, 1926. Serial No. 129,708.

This invention relates to a glove and has for its object to provide a new construction wherein the general aspect or appearance of the glove may be changed without materially altering the construction. I attain this result by the use of a novel shifting arrangement of ornamental parts of the glove so that without in any way altering the fixed parts of the glove, its design characteristics may be changed. i

lVith these ob'ect-s, and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, in view, I have devised the particular arrangement of parts spread out fiat;

Figure L is a sectional View on the line 47-4 of Figure 5, looking in the direction of the arrows; an

Figure 5 is a front elevation of the cuff portion of the glove, the same being spread out flat to disclose construction.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

In the preferred embodiment of my invention, as disclosed in the accompanying drawing, 1 indicates the body of the glove which may be made in the conventional form and is composed of leather, kid, cloth or any other material from which gloves are usually made. The glove is provided with the usual closure means consisting of the inter-engaging snap fastener members 2 and 3 and it is also rovided with an ornamental cuff part 4. This cuff 4E preferably consists of two plies of fabric, leather or the like, the ply 5 constituting an inner ply and the ply 6 constituting an outer ply. This cuff is, when worn, folded back on the hand as is partly indicated in Figure 1, so that the ply 6 is outermost and is thus visible. This ply 6 is provided with a series of slits 7 and a tape or ribbon 8 passes between the two plies and extends through the slits 7, whereby parts 9 (Figure 5) of said ribbon or strip 8 are visible on the outer face of the ply 6. The

ends of the strip or tape 8 are secured to cords 10 which pass out of eyelets 11 provided in the inner ply 5 of the cuff.

In order to provide a novel effect whereby the appearance of the wrist or cufi part of the glove may be quickly altered, I provide the face of the strip 8 with a plurality of areas of contrasting colors. For instance, Figure 2 shows the face of the .strip provided with alternating bars of pink and green. It will be obvious however, that any colors or designs may be placed on either or both faces of the strip 8 without departing from the spirit of my invention. To

use the device, one of the cords 10 is pulled with the result that the strip 8 is slid through the slits 7 so that a series of bars of one color will be visible on the outer face of the cuff 4 between the slits 7. To change the color of the bars which are visible, the strip can be pulled in an opposite direction, whereby bars of a different color will be registered between the slits. If desired, instead of having areas of different color on the face of the strip 8,'diiferent fanciful designsin alternating squares may be had and many other novel arrangements may be made, the same being rendered visible on the outer face of the cuff by merely drawing on one or the other of the projecting cords 10. The eyelets 11 are secured only in the inner ply 5 of the cuff with the result that the same are not visible on the outer face of the cuff when the glove is worn.

'From the foregoing it will be apparent that many novel effects can be produced by the use of a shiftable member extending through the cuff as herein described. The .same pair of gloves can be used to match different garments by merely shifting the strip 8 until different colors are brought into View.

Having described one embodiment of my invention, it is obvious that the same is not to be restricted thereto, but is broad enough to cover allstructures coming within th scope of the annexed claims. 2

What I claim is:

1. An article of the class described comprising a glove having a cuff, a series of slits therein, a tape in said cuff passing through the slits, said tape having a plurality of alternating blocks of color on its face, and means for shifting said tape whereby the same is moved through the slits to change the blocks of color that are visible on the outer face of the cuff.

2. An article of the class described comprising a glove having a plurality of slits at its wrist portion, an ornamental tape extending sinuously through said slits, orna mented areas on the outer face of the tape, and means for shifting the tape through the slits to vary the ornamented areas on the tape that are visible between the slits on the outer side of the glove. 7

3. An article of the class described comprisinga glove having a foldedback wrist part or cufi, said cufi' being provided with a series of spacecbapart slits, a flexible tape extending sinuously through said slits so that parts of said tape are visible between the slits on the outer side of the cuff, and

20 means for shifting said tape backward or forward through the slits so that different parts of said tape are visible on the outer side of the cuff between the slits.

4. An article of the class described com prising a glove having a cuff part composed of several plies of material, one of said plies being provided with a series of slits, a tape extending between the plies and passin sinuously through the slits, the outer face of said tape being provided with areas of varying design, eyelets in the other ply, and extensions on the ends of the tape passing out through said eyelets whereby said extensions may be manually grasped to draw the tape backward or forward through the slits to render visible different parts of the design appearing on said tape.
